Post functions can be used to automate tasks and ensure consistent data quality by eliminating or at least minimizing human error.

Jira ships with built-in post functions but those are limited. JWT for Jira Cloud extends that list by offering custom post functions. 

All post functions, as opposed to conditions and validators, use the power of the expression parser to to get you the data you need, when you need it.


Image AddedAvailable post functions

Jump right in and configure any of the available post functions listed below. Each post function comes with built-in examples.

If you need more help on how to construct expressions check out the documentation on the expression parser, and available field codes and operators or check out the use cases and examples below.

  1. Same texts as in https://www.decadis.net/confluence/display/JWTC/Post-functions/GUI? Or like the texts in automation? (e.g. "Add a comment..." vs "Adds a new comment...") I prefer the same notation as in the GUI
  2. What about usage examples? There are none in the automation doc.
  3. The screenshots contain data like those in the automation doc - is that ok or shall they remain empty?
  4. Update issue: " (system or custom fields)" in this version no support (e.g. select fields) for custom fileds is given in the GUI - shall we delete this part for this version?

Below the postfunction provided by Jira Workflow Toolbox Cloud are described shortly. A screenshot with example data is shown and the respective configuration is decribed (default values are shown in bold).
